Color frame holderThe color frame holder is
equipped with a spring-loaded
retaining clip that prevents
color frames and accessories
from falling out.
1: Release the retaining clip by pushing it sideways while gently pulling
backwards.
2: Insert the color frame.
3: Lock the retaining clip by pushing sideways while gently pushing
forward.
WARNING: Make sure all color frame accessories are locked in position with the retaining clip before hanging the Source Four.
Note: The performance of saturated colors may be less than desirable in any theatrical lighting fixture. For best results, always use high-quality color media rated for high-temperature use.ETC’s optional Conical Gel Extender (part number 7060A1048) will provide maximum color media life. Gel Extenders are not recommended for 70° and 90° lens tubes due to the extremely wide-angle beam.A variety of heat shield products is also available from many color media manufacturers. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the use of these products.

Replacing the HPL lampA lamp must be installed before you use the fixture.
1: Disconnect power to the fixture before installing the lamp.
2: Loosen the knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull the
housing out.
3: Holding by the base, remove the HPL lamp from its box..
Note: Verify that the HPL lamp you intend to install is suitable for your facility’s voltage; 115-, 120-, 230-, and 240-volt HPL lamps are available. See HPL lamp table on page 2. Operating HPL lamps above their rated voltage reduces lamp life and can cause premature lamp failure.
WARNING: Let the lamp cool before replacing.
CAUTION: Use caution when installing or replacing any lamp. When installing/replacing lamp, be sure to point the lamp away from your face and away from others before inserting it firmly into the assembly.This may prevent injuries if the lamp should break.
Note: To avoid premature lamp failure, do not touch the lamp glass. If you do, clean it carefully with isopropyl alcohol and a clean lint-free cloth. Allow to dry before operation.

4: Align the flat sides of the lamp base with the retention brackets on
either side of the socket as shown below.
5: Push down on the lamp base until the lamp seats firmly. When
properly installed, the top of the lamp’s base will be even with the top
edges of the retention brackets.
6: Press lamp retaining clip across lamp base to secure.
7: Reinstall the lamp housing by aligning the bolt hole and tightening the
knurled bolt.
AdjustmentsCentering lamp and adjusting the field
The two concentric knobs located on
the lamp housing allow you to align
the lamp and adjust its field. See figure
at right. The outer knob centers the
lamp within the reflector. The inner
knob adjusts the lamp’s field.
1: Turn on the fixture and aim it at
a flat surface. Adjust the barrel
to create a hard edge.
2: Unlock and loosen the outer
knob by turning it
counterclockwise.
3: Gently move the outer knob
from side to side and up and
down until the lamp is centered
within the reflector.
CAUTION: Improperly installed lamps cause premature lamp failure and socket problems.

4: Once the lamp is centered, turn the outer knob clockwise to lock it in
place.
5: Finally, turn the inner knob either clockwise or counterclockwise to
achieve an optimum flat field. See figure below.
Focusing the beamOn a fixed field angle Source Four jr with a 26°, 36° or 50° lens, adjust the
lens single beam focus knob to focus the edge of the beam. On a Source Four
jr Zoom, adjust the position of both lens beam focus knobs to set the beam’s
spread and to focus the edge of the beam. The Zoom lens provides a range
from 25° to 50°.
1: Loosen the beam focus
knob(s) on the underside of
the barrel as shown at right.
2: Slide the lens(es) forward or
backward to achieve the
desired beam edge.
3: Once the fixture is focused,
tighten the beam focus
knob(s).

Shaping the beamThe beam can be shaped using the shutters, a
pattern, or an optional drop-in iris.
Pattern Projection
The pattern holder slot is on the top side of the barrel
and in front of the shutters. It accommodates an
M-size pattern holder (see figure at right). The
pattern holder handle can be bent away from the
shutter handle to keep it from interfering with the
action of the shutter handle.
Use an optional donut in the accessory holder to
enhance pattern projection. Donut diameter range
should be 2.5” to 2.75”.
Drop-In Iris Slot
The drop-in iris slot is located on the top of the barrel and in front of the
pattern holder slot. It accommodates either a drop-in iris or a motorized
pattern device. When the slot is not in use, a small sheet metal cover secured
with two Phillips screws prevents light leakage (see figure below).
1: Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the drop-in iris slot
cover. Do not remove screws.
2: Slide the cover completely forward to expose the slot.
3: Insert the iris with the flat side toward the shutters and make sure the
iris handle extends from the slot.
4: Slide the slot cover back toward the shutters until it meets the iris
handle. Leave enough space to move the iris handle.
5: Secure the drop-in iris slot cover by tightening the screws.

Cleaning glass lens
Replace lenses if they contain visible damage (cracks or deep scratches) that
may impair their effectiveness.
1: Remove the lens assembly. See Source Four jr / jr Zoom Assembly Guide for lens removal instructions.
2: Remove dust with a blast of oil-free air or wipe with a clean, lint-free
cloth. Isopropyl alcohol, distilled water, or a 50%-50% mixture of
each can be used to clean the glass surface.
3: Reinstall the lens assembly.
WARNING: Do not use ammonia-based or other harsh commercial cleaners. Clean lens only as directed.
Commercially available glass cleaning agents should be avoided as they may contain ammonia, other harsh chemical detergents, or abrasive agents. These cleaners may damage the glass surface and the Anti-Reflective coatings. Do not immerse or soak the glass in any cleaning solution.
